Okay, Here's why I respect Deadmau5 :

Deadmau5 is crisp clean, super fat&juicy sound. Purity...I pretty much can't stand most traditional djs. Very refreshing sound this guy has. I don't care how complicated it is, I know just anyone can't get that sound from any DAW, he's crafted it from scratch. His setup looks like fucking NASA command.
 
Deadmau5's album get scraped, the first one he came out with in 2006, is why i like him. His songs 8 bit, bored of canada (boards of canada tribute) and careless are beautifully made i my opinion. I agree with whoever posted ahead of me that he was awesome but his stuff isn't original anymore. But i am a fan and saw him rock it live in mad town so im not a hater by any means.
 
He's made a few good tracks, the rest are average at best.

-Faxing Berlin
-Arguru
-Not exactly

What he produces these days all sounds the same, generic fart noises, not to mention in person comes across as an arrogant douchebag.
 
omg, I just read most of this thread for the first time. aahahahaha! FEEL THE HATE!!! I guess it's cool to hate on deadmau5 now since he's so popular like it's cool to hate on Tiesto. LOL!

My opinion on DJing vs. producing: overall I have more respect for ppl who produce their own tracks, particularly if their productions are creative and unique like deadmau5 or Stimming, HOWEVER some DJing requires an incredible amount of skill, particularly some types of scratching especially when they add body tricks. That shits fucking awesome. In a way scratching IS producing by creating your own sounds and beats out of existing songs.

So if you don't like deadmau5, you're just trying to be cool? It isn't possible that someone could have different opinions than you? Besides... that's pretty laughable considering it's obviously much cooler to like him than hate him. He is very mainstream and popular.
 
I only liked a couple songs on his last album (4X4)..but i do respect him alot. And would def go to his show. I can't stand people that hate on the guy. Mau5 head is cool.
 
His Ultra set was pretty good. Better than last years. He had Tommy Lee on drums which was an odd surprise. But then again if I compare that set to Boys Noize or even Afrojack, it wasn't too good lol.
 
History of Dead mau five

History of Deadmau five:

There were 4 previous deadmau and its about time their history is known.

deadmau one: The OG dead mau first roamed the halls of buckingham palace as her majesties royal jester

deadmau two: dead mau two played the fife and bagpipe and pranced about the scottish countryside lookin for a yung lass to dip his kilt in

deadmau three: dead mau three was a drummer boy in the union army during the civil war. he beat his drum so hard, maidens from near and far, confederate or union, felt the vibrations in btw their lips, and journeyed thousands of miles for a good bangin of their drum

deadmau four: well he was a nightclub king in the early swingin jazz days of the 1930s and 40s. with a glass of bourbon and a stick of muggles at his side, he slapped his bass to a beat never heard on tha streets. pretty soon, white women were all over him and the cops said "no more reefer!"

And finally. Deadmau five: the mau five trap.
 
Because he put skrillex on tour. Skrillex is 100x easier to hate than deadmau5 hahaha.

The OP of this thread should be stoned to death.
 
My only issue with Deadmau5 is he needs new material, but i gotta say i find his music hard to dislike and some of it i think is amazing like "alone with you"...that song is sooooo fucking smooth.
 
Does anyone else find it amuzing that everyone seemed to stop hating deadmau5 right about the same time as people started hating on skrillex? =D

Yeah that's really funny. :D Although to be fair, I think Deadmau5 is a better artists than Skrillex (but perhaps that's just me following the fad). :D
